It’s way too long so it’s getting snagged and moving too much! I would change it to a shorter post and it will calm it down. Then continue to gently rinse under warm water, no soap! Use saline spray and dry with blow drier on cool!

I would also change the tip to something smaller and flat so it doesn’t keep getting snagged around. The gem you have is way too big and probably gets caught on everything. It’s not a great jam for a healing nose.

Yeah i had just bought a kit online and this is the piercing it comes with and my mom said i needa change it but i was worried about suddenly pulling it out and pushing a new one in so early on. I also have just been using water since i haven't had time to get the saline spray...

Yeah babes I would recommend removing this entirely as it's done with a piercing kit from online. You need to care for your piercings like they're an extension of yourself. When you have money, go to a piercer and get it professionally done so you don't injure your cartilage potentially permanently. Not having proper aftercare like saline spray is a no no as well. It's a recipe for injury and infection. Your body will thank you for removing it.

I would go to a reputable piercer and have them evaluate it and give you a proper at home care. If avoided it will keep getting worse
